How to transfer more than 10TB of data quickly?

[Rob S]

Hi,
Please suggest ways to transfer huge amounts of data quickly form a client site to a processing center. I have a project that involves running several TBytes of data through a parallel processing system that I created. I was thinking about mailing the client several USB Portable HDD's but if someone has a better suggestion please let me know.

Also is there a way to combine several HDD's through a software/hardware interface so they appear as one continuous HDD (or volume) to the end user, my client in this situation. I have read about LVM(Logical Volume Manager) for linux but I have not seen any Windows support.

Thanks.

I would recommend finding out what your current internet connection speed is (which you would have to get from your ISP). You can increase/decrease your bandwidth through your ISP, and create a VPN connection to secure the data.

As for the HDDs, it sounds like you want a RAID setup, which you can do through hardware or software.
